Tips
 Ask your child to never accept people they don’t know and
trust in the real world

Inform them that giving out personal information can be
dangerous. They need to treat personal information such as
the school they go to or their location like their tooth brush
and not share it with anyone!
 Ask them not to webcam with people they do not know from
the real world and turn the webcam off after use!
 Teach them how to report a problem and delete people that
make them feel uncomfortable
